The aroma evokes freshly baked rye bread combined with a sweet yet char-driven element. Wonderfully vivid and rich. On the palate, the spirit is sweeter than expected, offering notes of toffee, vanilla, and caramel creams, all enhanced by a slight burnt toast character. The bitterness from the grain and barrel maintains the focus on the peppery rye. Rye whiskey is always a pleasure, but when it performs this well, it becomes an event. Secure a bottle if you can.

Nose: Sweet and fruity, minimal ethanol Taste: Extremely oily, dried apricot, vanilla, dark chocolate Finish: oak, banana, chocolate A genuinely delightful drink! I'd offer this to friends who might not be huge rye fans. I believe this one is very approachable.
Excellent, smooth, and full of flavor. It possesses a complexity beyond my ability to articulate. Among the finest I've experienced! Delicious! Rock’n Dough offers quality products.
